Understanding Hanooman AI Chatbot:
Hanooman AI, created by the Hanooman AI Team, is an advanced AI assistant that has been carefully designed. It runs on the DISM architecture, allowing it to seamlessly integrate and synthesize information from various sources due to its vast amount of high-quality data. With its extensive parameters and broad knowledge in different fields, Hanooman AI can offer intelligent and personalized help in numerous industries.
Hanooman AI Chatbot features
According to the developers, the chatbot is created to work effectively in various key industries such as healthcare, government, finance, and education. Hanooman AI can communicate with users in 12 Indian languages and a total of 98 global languages, catering to a wide range of linguistic diversity. The AI is familiar with a variety of global languages such as English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, and many others.
The chatbot is capable of performing similar tasks as OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini. It can respond to queries, generate text, provide recipes, and engage in conversations. Unfortunately, the company has not disclosed any information regarding the training data size or the AI model’s parameters. Nevertheless, they have described Hanooman as a system that combines specialized LLMs with an integration synthesis matrix, enabling the delivery of precise and adaptable insights, as well as transforming complex data into actionable intelligence.
Users have the option to communicate with it using various languages. We experimented with English, Hindi, and Bengali, and found that while it responded well in English and Hindi, it faced some challenges with Bengali. There were a few occasions where the responses were unclear or it had difficulty understanding the input. Nevertheless, as with all AI systems, it is anticipated to enhance its performance as it gathers more data.
